GENERATIONS

THE BOOK

For the last six years I've been photo-graphing families in Scandinavia. The portraits are taken of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, all in their

own homes.

In the photographs people are sitting close to each other but the emotional distance is hidden, subjective and complex. I'm interested in how the relationship to our parents changes as we become adults ourselvs. We are all deeply effected by this relationship regardless of what the distance between us may be.

There are four transcribed conversations in the book between mothers and daugthers, fathers and sons, that I've photographed. In these conversations they reflects on their relationship and how their roles as parents has changed over generations.
